Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown David Steinman See book keywords and concepts

Our oldest, who is ten, sings, "I bought it on eBay" in the Chevy Suburban and means it. One night, he buys two Alien vs. Predator plush toys on ebay. These basically are Beanie Babies for kids who love Beast Wars, Reptilians, and Transformers. When they arrive a few days later, their tush tags reveal they were made in China for Diamond Select, of Tim-onium, Maryland, and that they contain polyester fiber and polyethylene pellets.

Here are some more tools for performing inspirational acts of green patriotism: ?At ebay.com, search under "recycled" and you will find pages and pages of items, including wood flooring and colorful scarves hand knit with recycled silk. ?You can file your treasured pictures or CDs in boxes made from recycled newspaper for only $14.99 to 19.99 at www.containerstore.com. ?Find a stool made from renewable water hyacinth at Pier 1 for $78. ?Plant a memory tree. Fill your local park with a memory in honor of someone dear in your life.

On the other hand, Beanies with PVC pellets are considered rare and are more valuable on ebay (which is especially true for the Princess Beanie Baby with PVC pellets).9 (So let me understand this: A little girl holds Princess Beanie Baby with PVC pellets close to her breast. PVC causes breast cancer in animal and human studies, and PVC residues or metabolites [which are by-products of the original compound] are absorbed from consumer products like the Beanie Baby, possibly by little girl who is in love with her Beanie.

Predator plush toys on ebay. These basically are Beanie Babies for kids who love Beast Wars, Reptilians, and Transformers. When they arrive a few days later, their tush tags reveal they were made in China for Diamond Select, of Tim-onium, Maryland, and that they contain polyester fiber and polyethylene pellets. A petroleum-derived polymer, polyester fiber is used not only for Beanie Babies and similar plush toys but also for other textile industry products, as well as for tires, seat belts, and heatproof jackets. They are also the source of polyethylene terepthalate (PET) packaging and bottles.

In an unprecedented recycling initiative, Intel and ebay joined with leading technology companies, government agencies, and environmental groups to help pave the way for consumers and businesses to safely dispose of unwanted electronics. In September 2005, mailers went out to 3.2 million New York City households announcing the city's most ambitious personal computer, television, and cell phone recycling drive to date. Intel and Best Buy Co. both supported the drive, which ran on weekends in October.11 www.intel.

The future of food: Why GM crops threaten the sustainability of the human race (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

That's business as usual in the United States, a nation that has sold its soul to the highest bidder on ebay and now stands as an alarming historical example of what happens when a free market economic abandons basic ethics and human rights. Must-see documentary: The Corporation. Watch this if you really want to know the truth about how corporations threaten the very future of humankind. What can you do about all this? Grow heirloom plants, buy organic, non-GM foods and refuse to do business with corporations that use GM foods.

That might entail selling unwanted or unused items at online auction sites such as tvww.ebay.com or electronic marketplaces like http://craigslist.org. The key in both instances will be to do it as soon as possible, before everyone else is trying to do the same. Other revenue-generating options, including moonlighting at a second job or starting a home-based business that requires little in the way of overhead, should also be seriously considered.

The early inflexible plastics such as Bakelite and Galalith have been reincarnated into a second existence as popular and lucrative ebay collectibles,25 but in their art deco heyday the hard, inflexible plastics served a utilitarian purpose. Elasticity is not always advantageous—one does not want a hair comb with the consistency of a rubber band. But elasticity or flexibility is ctitical at other times. The forward progress of the plastic industry seemed to hit a wall when it came to engineering synthetic elasticity.

To educate consumers and businesses about options for disposing of unwanted computers, the Rethink Initiative coalition created a Web site (www.ebay.com/rethink) that includes information on how to safely sell, recycle, or donate used computers. At Freedom Press, we've made some important breakthroughs, too. Our new computers come with lead-free motherboards and contain voltage regulators that reduce the actual power the machine requires to run. Just in your home, there is so much you can do for free, and that is easy to do. I just got up and turned down our water heater to approximately 120?

Sure, you could post that box of random computer cables on ebay, but your time is frankly better spent doing other things. All you really care about is keeping those cables from ending up in a landfill. If someone is willing to show up and take them away, even if they use just one, the result is still a reduction in waste. Furthermore, if they use just that one cable, then sell the rest on ebay for a profit, all the better for them. Anything to keep the cables from the landfill. This is a stellar example of win-win thinking.

During a bird flu outbreak, these will probably be selling on ebay for $250 a bottle. I show you where to get them today for 1/10th that price, $25 a bottle from a reputable source.

They even used Web-based businesses such as Google and ebay, and they assumed that some of the bright young dudes in black outfits and stylish eyeglasses behind the public offerings would be the next Bill Gates or Larry Ellison. Hundreds of other ventures were capitalized and geared up, and a stunning percentage of them failed. The diminishing returns of overinvestment had struck again. Entropy expressed itself in the form of mass delusion.

If the cutting-edge technical and creative talent had been inclined toward software and "e-tailing" a few years before, now the hipsters were in pharma, screw all that ebay action. At the ultrahip Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, once known for its auto and product design department, one of the hottest new fields was . . . pharmaceutical graphics. In the world of exhibit development (as in museum and educational exhibits), pharma had become a major new source of money to some of the hottest young design shops.

Bay" for the stuff we no longer want. The premise is simple: you join a "freecycling" e-mail listserv for your local community, on which people proffer the things they might otherwise take to the dump, give to charity, or simply leave on the curb. At last count, there were hundreds of such lists set up, in communities large and small. The Internet is terrific at making markets more efficient, and there is indeed a market for many things we would otherwise throw away. Sure, you could post that box of random computer cables on ebay, but your time is frankly better spent doing other things.

Health Roundup: Gambling with drugs, Squaretrade failures and counterfeit drugs (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It turns out that Squaretrade is just flat broken and it keeps sending me through an endless ebay loop that redirects you back to Squaretrade.com where you get to start all over. In other words, the whole system is utterly useless and apparently serves no purpose whatsoever other than to waste the time of web surfers who are under the misimpression that Squaretrade has some actual purpose. The Squaretrade website is still up, but nobody's home. At least not on my web browser. Counterfeit drugs just as safe as genuine drugs?

Pentagon hit by flying grilled cheese sandwich, video frames show Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Perhaps the 84 videos were all mysteriously erased by the terrorists who don't want the FBI to study their flight path, or the FBI is so strapped for cash that it's waiting to auction them off on ebay to the highest bidder. These are all possibilities that must be considered. Some are more likely than others.

Hoodia Gordonii emerges as natural appetite suppressant with weight loss potential Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I personally spent over eight hours searching for plants, and finally found a small 2" high hoodia plant which I had to pay $65 to get (most succulents that size sell for around five or six dollars) from ebay. I actually had to bid on this plant! I also paid $15 for fifteen hoodia seeds, which are microscopic, almost like dust. That makes hoodia seeds more valuable than gold, ounce per ounce. All over the world, people are trying to buy hoodia, and there just isn't enough supply to go around. The succulent growers have been wiped out. The seed providers have virtually no inventory left.
